Woman uses 2 guns to shoot at would-be home invasion robber

[branford]

43. EM, why don't you address the points responding to your post?

You explicitly claim, "If they had only kept the door locked, nobody would have fired a shot."

What is the basis for this assertion? Are you claiming that armed home invaders never shoot anyone unless first fired upon? Any study or scholarly writing making such a allegation would be most interesting to read and discuss.

Similarly, are you proposing that the best survival strategy for the woman in the story would have been to hide in a locked bedroom, and just hope both the individual who was in the process of threatening her husband with robbery at gunpoint in her own home would not actually shoot, no less kill, her husband, and he then would definitely not come to get her? Would the locks on doors in within your home withstand a simple kick or gunfire? Mine certainly would not.

Lastly, are you willing to concede, at all, that firearms are sometimes lawfully employed to save the lives of innocent victims?
